807 Fake maps
The noisy hall suddenly lost its original noise with the appearance of this crashing sound, as if a noisy car had just passed a vegetable market, and the crowd standing around the hall in their own postures also gathered their surprised eyes into a corner, as if they did not expect the adventurer to make such an abnormal action: "You, you just ......"
"What, it's okay for him to hit people, but I can't beat people?" What answered him was Duan Qing's gesture of pointing to his nose: "Forget it, anyway, I don't have time to talk to you about these meaningless content......"
"I know you all look ...... right now Busy. β
Everyone was concentrated on him, and he slowly pushed away the Flame Legend to take his hand, and then silently turned over the simple and random tables and chairs placed in the corner, and came to the center of the conference tent: "So if you don't mind...... Let's get the talk, how? β
ββ¦β¦ This is the territory of the Resistance, adventurers. Hart, who had been sitting in the middle without making a sound, lowered his face: "We haven't had an outsider's turn to point fingers at us yet - you'd better understand that first." β
"Of course I do."
Putting on a contemptuous smile at the other party, Duan Qing then flew out again without remorse to blast Bowen who was roaring and rushed over to attack him: "It's just that with your current efficiency...... I'm afraid we'll end up with nothing. β
"Are you referring to the reward of your adventurers?" Hart shook his head with a grim face: "Sure enough, it's a group of greedy adventurers...... Don't worry, we don't have any money for you. β
"No, no, no, you know that's not what I mean." Duan Qing pointed to the other groups of people who were still noisy and noisy just now, but now they have become extremely quiet: "For us adventurers...... Time is sometimes more like money. β
"You're just too slow to be productive." He held up a finger and shook it back and forth in his head: "Go on with the rhythm you had before......"
"I don't know how long today's matter will end."
A piercing tearing sound then appeared around Duan Qing, and with the appearance of pitch-black cracks, his figure was encircled, and the invisible and terrifying energy was also transformed into an irregular dark web in the air, shaking all the flying swords that Bowen and several of his companions had just thrown out. Slightly cleaning up his mood, Duan Qing finally withdrew the net-like black light around him into the void beside him, and his indifferent gaze then spread around this open-air meeting area along with his expression: "I have no intention of having any conflict with you, after all, this is a place I have worked hard to find, what I do...... I just want to save time for discussions.
"This power ......," Maklos, who was staring at Duan Qing, asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" β
"Power is just power, it's a tool to solve problems." Duan Qing spread his hands: "As long as it is still in my hands, it will continue to help you." β
ββ¦β¦ Hope you're right. Hart, who sat between the dilapidated tables and chairs, wrinkled his eyebrows: "So...... How do you want to help us, Mr. Adventurer, who has little patience? β
ββ¦β¦ So be it. β
Standing in place and thinking for a while, Duan Qing turned his gaze to an entrance to the underground not far from them: "In line with the attitude of fundamentally solving this problem, I suggest that we first conduct a comprehensive search of the underground pipe network in our place, in addition to confirming the maps that we have mastered, we can also prepare in advance for the next attack plan......
"A comprehensive investigation? That's impossible. Dick, who was hiding in the corner and playing with the dagger, shook his head and replied, "Not to mention the size of the area below, the route alone is complicated enough......"
"The underground pipe network is in disrepair, and there are many places that are no longer passable." Hart, who was sitting in the center, also shook his head and replied, "Even if it's you, you want to move those blocked pathways......"
"I'll leave this matter to me first."
patting his chest, Duan Qing grinned and showed a confident smile: "Anyway, the game just finished ......"
"I still have a lot of time."
He stretched out his hand and greeted the Legend of the Flame that had been staying in the corner watching him perform a few times, but the torn space was accompanied by a few sword qi that he suddenly threw out, deeply embedded in the ground under his feet, and the ground tremor that followed then spread to the surroundings along with the exclamations made by the surrounding NPCs, and finally calmed down in Duan Qing's action of reopening his eyes, and the big shield warrior who crept over then also put down the shield he had carefully raised, and his eyes gradually fell on Duan Qing in front of him: "You, What are you doing? β
"Let's take a look at the composition near the underground pipe network." Duan Qing blinked slightly innocently: "Have you heard of radar sound wave technology?" It is to use the echo of oscillation and the obstruction of energy to sense all the obstacles that may exist in dark places......"
"......% @ηι£ζ―δΈη§ζθ½ε§? How can there be such technology in the free world? Moreover, and you are actually using sword qi! Do you know how much sword energy is required for this? β
"As long as it is used properly, the breath required is not as much as imagined." Duan Qing waved his hand senselessly, and by the way, he took out his adventurer's manual: "Now ......"
"Let's see the results."
On the adventurer's map, which gradually became clearer, the underground passage map that Duan Qing had shared from the Yangtze River No. 7 was then displayed in front of the two players, and Duan Qing, who had squinted his eyes and had not moved for a long time, then raised his trembling fingers and began to connect the dots on the map. Several members of the rebel army who did not dare to approach because of Duan Qing's previous performance could not resist the temptation of what the adventurer was doing, and quietly approached the direction where the finger that was shining was shining, but the surprise that flashed in their eyes for unknown reasons was completely different from the surprise in the eyes of the Flame Legend: "This is...... Access? β
"No, it's a dead end...... Didn't I make it clear before? This method can only detect the location of underground obstacles. β
"Then why are you marking it here? Isn't this a normal pathway? β
"So ......"
Ignoring the pairs of eyes that gradually came over him, Duan Qing sighed and closed his manual: "This map sent by someone else ......"
"There must be some deviation."
***********************
"Whew, whew, whew...... Drink! β
"Alright Captain, let's rest."
"It's okay, brother is not tired...... You better not use magic, the shock caused is too great, in case it attracts the Imperials...... We're going to be unlucky again like last time. β
"But, but ......"
After a while, in the Zaraha underground passage, the sweaty flame legend stopped digging forward breathlessly, and shook his head to signal to the little fish behind him that he was still in good shape. The little girl who tried to help the other party with the fireball technique then lowered her head in a slightly frustrated manner, and walked into the depths of the passage with her mouth open, but after a while, her slightly uneasy eyes fell on a fat thief who came with her: "But why are we doing this, we have been digging for days......"
"If that Uncle Aoyama told me that there were a million gold coins behind this stone, I would have dug it with all my might." The Powerpuffer pouted and replied, "But...... In fact, there is no way that will happen. β
"If you daydream too much, of course you will get the punishment you deserve."
Flapping the sword and shield in his hand, the Legend of the Flame began his excavation mission again: "If you don't want to dream, you might as well sit there honestly." β
"What about you? Why aren't you dreaming? The fat man waved his hand indifferently: "Do you believe that Mo Shang Qingshan didn't lie to us so much?" β
"If I had such doubts, I wouldn't have been working in this place for free for so long."
In the sight of rocks and earth chips flying in unison, the Flame Legend once again buried his head in the collapsed debris in front of him, leaving no gap: "And they are our employers, let us do whatever we want." β
"This place doesn't look shallow, if you really want to dig it through...... I'm afraid it will take half a month. β
"I know I know, I know it's just a drop in the ocean of the revamped map, but ......"
Gesturing slightly to another passage to the left, the Flame Legend replied in a low voice, "...... compared to their efficiency"
"We're already extremely slow."
Rumble!
A dull blast then appeared in the depths of the passage to their left, at the end of another passage belonging to the underground pipe network, and countless pieces of rubble and earth then mixed with fragments of obstruction from that passage crackled against the circular stone wall not far from them. Covering his ears vigorously, the little fish curled up together for a long time before casting his frightened gaze on the inside of the passage blocked by the fat man, and then included the figure belonging to Duan Qing and another woman in black standing together into his field of vision: "Such fanfare...... Aren't you afraid of being known by the Imperial people above? β
"It's a standard directional blast, and the vibration is very low." Duan Qing replied in a low voice without care, "And...... If I hadn't done that, I would have accomplished the feat I had promised in just a few days. β
ββ¦β¦ So why are you doing this? Is it just to deter the stupid and idiots of the rebels? β
"I don't know Bowen, and I don't know why they're arguing, and why they're turning the finger on us adventurers......
Shaking the tip of his sword, Duan Qing then stood again in the direction directly opposite the passage: "But according to my previous understanding......"
"When disagreements arise, violence is often the easiest and quickest way to resolve them."
A pitch black deeper than the darkness inside the passage then appeared on the other side of the remaining blockage of the passage, and then tore into another black hole visible to the naked eye, and the strong air currents then collapsed towards the other side of the collapsed rock, along with the rock debris that was still falling around it. His eyes gradually moved away from the black short sword in Duan Qing's hand, and Queen Maggie, who called herself Kaisha, shook her head slightly suspiciously, and finally took her attention away from the unknown force that Duan Qing had been using for several days: "So...... Let's see the results. β
"Sure enough......"
What answered her was Duan Qing's figure that suddenly disappeared in place, and the head that poked out into the depths of the hollow that collapsed: "There is no cave behind here." β
"I don't quite understand how you see that." Maggie, who was holding her arms, sighed and shook her head: "Is there something guiding you?" β
"Maybe it's your so-called fate." Duan Qing, who disappeared in front of him, replied half-truthfully: "Although before that, I also saw some clues......
"Oh? Where's the clue? β
"It's the story you told earlier."
As if sensing the other party's following, Duan Qing took the lead and continued to walk towards the depths of the passage that was blown out: "The teacher who disappeared in front of you before...... He couldn't have been heard from all this time, and whether he was dead or alive, he should have a reason not to be noticed. β
"According to your description, the momentum of their last day of fighting was so grand." He stared at the walls around him that were getting smoother, and his voice began to grow deeper and deeper: "If you hadn't decided to die in the first place...... Your teacher, who holds his destiny in his hands, must have other ways to escape. β
ββ¦β¦ That's what we're looking for right now? β
"I'm not sure either, but what I found the other day reminded me."
Pointing to the adventurer's manual in his hand, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Since this map has been tampered with, the so-called 'unusable path' no longer exists. β
"It's only been a few years since the memory I mentioned, and there's no way they're going to block access to this point." Maggie also nodded: "The Imperial people who don't know anything about this place should naturally not be the initiator of the current situation, but...... That's even more so than that. β
"I see what you mean β no one is capable of doing that."
"What ......?"
"There's another possibility."
Snapping his fingers forward, Duan Qing pressed a wall that originally didn't look anything abnormal into a shattered phantory shadow: "Since the maps we have now are all fake......
"Then the walls themselves here may also be fake."
